Integrating Renewable Energy and Climate Change Policies: Exploring Policy Options for Africa

This technical document aims to propose different policy options that can help integrating renewable energies and climate change. Recommended policies and strategies include: (1) establishment of clear energy and climate change adaptation/mitigation policies in Africa; (2) implementation of renewable energy development-inducing policies; (3) creating conducive environments for private-public partnerships in clean energy development; (4) enhancement of broader regional and continental collaboration in energy and climate change policies; (5) accessing existing international funding sources for promoting less carbon-intensive energy technologies; and (6) implementation of energy portfolio diversification.
